We do have a High Priest!

Hebrews 5; Hebrews 6; Hebrews 7; Hebrews 8

Scripture

Hebrews 7:24-25 “but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

Observation

When we read the Bible we sometimes come across passages that are difficult to understand. Hebrews 6 is one of those difficult passages. If you read Hebrews 6 and no other scripture you could believe that it would be possible to lose your salvation. In fact, just by reading Hebrews 6 you would think that once you lost it you could never be saved again. So how are we to understand that passage? I would suggest that you keep on reading to Hebrews 7:24-25 which says,

“but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

Jesus is our high priest. He sacrificed His life for you and me and now He lives to constantly intercede for us on our behalf. And because Jesus is God He is able to save us completely!


Application

The Bible is to be understood by reading all of it and not taking a verse out of context to teach that we can lose our salvation.



Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you that you are always interceding for me and thank you for saving me completely. You are my high priest!
